New applicants for DETC Accreditation: the Baskerville factor

The key to Sherlock Holmes solving the riddle of the Hound of the Baskervilles was that nothing happened --the dog did not bark.

New applicants for DETC accreditation* include only one Louisiana school, St. John's University.** Where are all those other Louisiana wonders that ostensibly can only operate legally there as long as they are in the process of applying for DETC accreditation: Bienville, Columbus, Lacrosse, etc.?
______________
* American Career Institute (Las Vegas), Business School Netherlands (South Africa), College of the Humanities (Arizona), Rescue College (Missouri), University of Management (Virginia), Universidad FLET (Miami) and Taft University (California).

**The visiting team will need to be warned about the "Bad Dog." (inside joke; subject of last summer's puzzler)

A common misconception. The passage you're thinking of is from the Sherlock Holmes short story "Silver Blaze", not from The Hound of the Baskervilles, and does not contain the word "bark":

# "Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my
# attention?"
# "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
# "The dog did nothing in the night-time."
# "That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes.

I was glad to find a Holmes reference, though!

 

Oh, good, one less misconception in my collection.

I just thought I would revive this thread, as my favourite instance of an irrelevant correction...

I've thought of a legitimate use for the phrase "the Baskerville factor":

At one point, the villain in The Hound of the Baskervilles, wearing a false beard while he does his nefarious deeds, takes a taxi cab (horse-drawn, of course). Knowing that Sherlock Holmes is trying to identify him and will soon question the cab driver, as he gets out of the cab the villain falsely tells the driver: "It might interest you to know that you have been driving Mr. Sherlock Holmes."

Quick review question: To what recent incident might this be applicable?
